Creating an Industrial Empire in 19th Century Parallel World

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.

Arriving at New York

Seven hours later, the three arrived at the ferry station in Paulus Hook in a community on the Hudson River waterfront in Jersey City, New Jersey. It is located one mile from Manhattan, New York. 

The three walked out of the dock where they waited for the ferry that would get them across the Hudson River. 

Amelia looked up and saw the darkened clouds and the flash of lightning streaking and arcing across the sky.

"I don't like the look of that cloud," Amelia said.

"Let's just hope that the ferry will arrive within fifteen minutes, otherwise there will be a huge chance of our schedule being delayed," Jonathan said. 

"You are right," Poul agreed.

Four men approached Poul from behind. "Si, the luggage and the wooden crate are here, please check if there is something missing."
