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.

The Order

"What are you talking about father? Holding off on Poul's execution? Are you insane? He literally took Penelope from us and you want us to let it go?" 

"Calm down, Alexander, there is a reason for this,"  the king raised his hand, stopping him from speaking. "We have received a letter from the government of the United States, you might want to see it for yourself."

One of the butlers of the king stepped forward with a silver tray with an envelope on it. 

Alexander frowned, wondering what the letter held. He picked it up from the tray and opened the envelope. 

"This missive originates from the esteemed government of the United States. Although we duly acknowledge the profound gravity of Poul's transgressions, it perturbs the international protocols to subject him to British jurisdiction based on circumstantial evidence," Alexander read aloud, his voice tinged with incredulity.
