In a tragic accident, mechanical engineer Poul Nielsen and his best friend, civil engineer Jonathan Axelsen, are killed when a truck crashes into the coffee shop where they were hanging out. Suddenly, they find themselves transmigrated to a parallel world in the late 19th-century country of Avalonia. In this world, they'll need to work tirelessly to earn enough pennies to survive. But they won't settle for just getting by - they want to become the Edison, the Chrysler, the Rockefeller, the Carnegie, the Ford, and the Westinghouse of this new world. In a world without electricity, Poul and Jonathan decide to start an electric power distribution company. But that's not enough - they also want to build appliances and motors to make their business profitable. They see the opportunity to revolutionize ground transportation, and they start an automotive manufacturing company. They tackle huge infrastructure projects such as metro stations, skyscrapers, bridges, tunnels, and dams by starting their own civil engineering firm. They even invest in the arms manufacturing industry. But the road to success won't be easy. Fierce competition awaits them, as robber barons are willing to do everything to crush their competitors. Predator against predator, and government intervention. Poul and Jonathan must use all their engineering expertise and business acumen to navigate this treacherous landscape. Join Poul and Jonathan on their journey to become the wealthiest men in the world in a parallel universe where anything is possible.

After the termination agreement meeting with James Russell, Amelia escorted him out of the building. When she returned five minutes later, Poul Nielsen, the CEO of the company, noticed the puzzled expression on her face.

"Mr. Nielsen, if I may ask, why did you agree to sell your patent to James Russell for one hundred thousand dollars? You know it's worth more than that," Amelia asked.

"Because Amelia, since our relationship with Mr. Russell is not good at the moment, I figured that it would be best to cut ties with him. He has the capability to ruin our business because we are associated with the direct current motor he is distributing. I don't want to take that chance and regret it knowing that I could have prevented it sooner," Poul explained. "I'm sure, Jonathan would come to the same conclusion as mine."

Amelia was taken aback by Poul's decision. "But, Mr. Nielsen, you are losing a lot of money once that royalty payment is gone."
