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.

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.

The Interview

The journalist from the New York Times stepped forward with a note in his hand.

"Mr. Nielsen, Mr. Axelsen, may I have some questions about this lighting ceremony you conducted in Scranton?" he asked. 

Poul walked forward and nodded. "Anything." 

"Okay," the journalist breathed deeply before starting. "So, Mr. Nielsen, this lighting ceremony was a momentous event for the townspeople of the city of Scranton. How are you feeling?" 

Poul smiled at the journalist, his eyes shining with excitement. "I feel incredibly proud, to be honest. This lighting ceremony represents a new era of progress and innovation for the people of Scranton, and we're honored to have been a part of it."

The journalist nodded, scribbling down notes as Poul spoke. "And what inspired you to pursue this project?"
