"My Lord Count, it's been too long!" Andrew bowed seriously to Perfikot, his attitude cautious and respectful.
"Mr. Andrew, indeed it's been a while. How's your business recently?" Perfikot greeted the steel merchant, who had close ties with him, with a friendly demeanor.
Andrew seemed a bit flattered, responding with a slightly humble tone, "Thanks to you, my steel company is currently running smoothly. Various orders from the Northern Territory have flooded the factory's capacity, so much so that I had to expand the factory again earlier this year.
Apart from that, I've invested in two new mines this year. Although the reserves identified so far are not large, the output has increased my company's self-sufficiency rate for iron ore to 40%, further reducing dependency on the New Continent."
