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.

Poul reviewed papers on the desk as he waited for Amelia to come down to his office. It's been ten minutes now, and he is beginning to wonder what's taking her so long. 

Finally, there was a knock on the door. Jonathan doesn't knock often, meaning it can only be one person behind it. It was Amelia.

"Come in," Poul said and the door was promptly opened. He was correct, it was Amelia who was knocking on the door, and is now entering the office.

"I'm done unpacking, Sir Nielsen," Amelia announced as she stood in front of Poul's desk. 

"Umu…Please take a seat, we will begin shortly," Poul said, shutting down the folder in his hand and stowing it in the drawer down the desk.

Amelia sat on the chair and watched her boss preparing for the briefing.
