Bab 72: Sealing the Deal

Upon closing the deal with John Morgan over his shares, Poul promptly contacted Caroline the following day, informing her of Morgan's acceptance. As a result, Caroline scheduled a visit to the headquarters of the Axelsen & Nielsen Air Brake Company located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on February 16th, 882.

Like any other day, it was a typical day for the workers of the company, working in perfect harmony to manufacture air brakes and locomotive draft gears for steam locomotives. However, for the founders of the company, it was a momentous day, as they were to receive an investment worth fifteen million dollars from Caroline.

To ensure that their main office, which also doubled as their residence, was as welcoming and presentable as possible, the founders took great care in preparing the interior for Caroline's visit. Despite its hasty construction and plain interior, the decorations served to conceal any imperfections.
