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.

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.

A Man from the Past

An hour after Amelia's interview with Beatrice, Poul, and Jonathan returned to their office, feeling a sense of relief as their day spent helping the engineers had come to an end. As they walked towards their desks, they noticed a woman standing by Poul's desk, her smile greeting them.

"Good evening, Mr. Axelsen, Mr. Nielsen. How was your work today?" Amelia asked warmly.

Poul replied, "It was the usual, Amelia. Did you have any updates on the new receptionist you interviewed earlier today?"

Amelia nodded, "Yes, she meets all of the qualifications required for the position. I have a good feeling that she'll excel as a receptionist here."

Jonathan added, "That's fantastic news. When will she start?"

"Tomorrow," Amelia replied. "Her workday will begin at 8 AM and end at 5 PM, as per our company's policy."

Poul inquired, "Do we have any appointments scheduled for tomorrow, Amelia?"

"Not to my knowledge, Poul," Amelia answered.
