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.

Hearing the News

Meanwhile, in the main office, Caroline arrived, wearing a modest gray dress that flowed down to her ankles, matched with a pearl necklace and a simple hat to complete her ensemble. She approached Poul and Jonathan, who were busy flipping through piles of papers and jotting down notes on their notepads, in preparation for the important business meeting with their investors later that afternoon.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen," Caroline greeted them with a curtsey. "How are the preparations coming along?"

Poul and Jonathan looked up from their work and exchanged glances. They were both pleasantly surprised to see Caroline, who was usually preoccupied with her own work in the bedroom. 

"We are doing fine, just one final preparation and we are ready to go," Poul replied. 

"So, you are leaving now?" Jonathan asked as he noticed her appearance. "I will escort you out and take you personally to the carriage."
