The Plan for New Office Building

Two months later, the Axelsen & Nielsen Air Brake Company and its subsidiary, the Axelsen & Nielsen Union Switch & Signal Company continued flourishing. With the fifteen million dollar investment from Caroline Dupont, Poul, and Jonathan started seeking opportunities to expand abroad.

Their main target countries are the British Empire, the German Empire, and the Republic of France. With a total steam locomotive of four hundred thousand, the prospect of high revenue is making them excited.

However, before jumping into that, Poul and Jonathan were settling matters in their headquarters. Particularly, the construction of the new office building. 

In the main office, Jonathan was seated across from Charles McKim, one of the founders of the famous architectural firm in the United States of Avalonia, the Mckim Mead and White.
