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.

Lighting Ceremony Part 2

"Uhm…Mister Axelsen and Nielsen," a man called from down the carriage. 

Poul and Jonathan got startled at the sudden call. They looked down and saw Mister Sam Insull. James Russel's personal secretary. 

"Oh, Sam. Fancy meeting you here as well. What do you need?" 

"Mister Russels wants you to join him on the platform for the lighting ceremony."

"You should go," Caroline told them, smiling warmly. 

"You two are going to be fine on your own?" Poulasked.

"Yes, don't worry," Caroline assured him. "We'll be sure to watch you from here." 

"Well, if you say so, Miss Caroline," Poul said, and then looked at Amelia. "Wait for me, okay?" he said, standing up. Amelia nodded and watched as Poul and Jonathan climbed down the carriage and followed Mister Insull towards the steps of the New York Stock Exchange.
