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.

Securing the Deal

"Good day, Mr. Sumpter. Thank you for choosing our company. We are truly honored to have the opportunity to bring the same level of magic and success we have achieved in the city of Scranton to the state of Ohio," Poul greeted warmly.

Felix nodded in agreement. "Thank you, Mr. Nielsen. I have a few questions if you don't mind."

"Not at all, Mr. Sumpter. Please feel free to ask," replied Poul.

Felix leaned in, his curiosity piqued. "Is it possible to electrify the entire state of Ohio within the next three months? We are eager to see the benefits of electricity, from lighting to powering equipment."

Poul and Jonathan exchanged a glance, fully understanding the urgency of the matter.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Sumpter, building a power plant of that scale takes time, typically a year or two. However, we do have some alternatives we can offer," Poul explained.

Felix's smile faded slightly. "What alternatives do you have in mind?"
