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.

Deals in the Middle of the Celebration

As soon as the councilor signaled, a towering man, standing at six feet and five inches, confidently strode forward. Jonathan looked up and extended his hand in greeting.

"Good evening, sir. I'm Jonathan Axelsen, COO of the Axelsen & Nielsen Electric Manufacturing and Distribution Company. I understand that you're interested in our alternating current system, is that correct?" Jonathan asked with a friendly smile.

The man took a moment to inspect Jonathan's hand before firmly shaking it. His deep voice boomed, "Yes, that's correct. Mr. Russell suggested we purchase one generator per mile to address the issue of dark streets and homes."

"Ah, I think I've had a similar conversation before," he said, recalling the encounter.

Jonathan couldn't help but chuckle at the man's statement. It reminded him of a similar conversation with Felix Sumpter in the past. 

The man raised his eyebrows in confusion at Jonathan's muttering. "Excuse me?" he asked.
