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.

Hopping into Oil Business?

Not long after, the industrialist duo returned to their main office at Pittsburg. It was four o'clock in the morning and the sky was still dark. They had just come back from a meeting in Columbus Ohio with Felix Sumpter.

As they walked towards the main entrance of the building, they were greeted by a night shift security guard stationed there.

"Good morning, Mr. Nielsen, Mr. Axelsen," the security guard said before opening the door for them.

Poul and Jonathan nodded at the gesture made by the security guard as they entered the building. Inside, the lobby was deserted, there were no people to be seen. Well, that's completely normal as the operating hours of the building are from eight o'clock to twelve o'clock midnight. 

They made their way to the elevators and pressed the button to go up to the eighth floor. As they rode up, Poul turned to Jonathan.
