Expanding Abroad

By early 1884, the meteoric rise of Hesh Motors had captured global attention. Matthew Hesh knew that to sustain growth, it was time to expand beyond the borders of the Great Republic of Amerathia. The demand for automobiles was growing in Europe and Asia, and Matthew saw an opportunity to establish Hesh Motors as a global leader. With the success of the military contracts and the booming civilian market, the time was right to take the company to the next level.

Matthew sat in his Hudson office with Amber, Robert, and several senior executives to discuss the next big step. A map of the world was spread across the conference table, marked with pins indicating potential locations for expansion.

"Europe and Asia," Matthew said. "These are the two regions we need to target. Europe has strong industrial capabilities and a burgeoning middle class. Asia, particularly the Yamato Kingdom, is modernizing rapidly and offers untapped potential."
