Li Yalin gave full play to the investigative capabilities of a criminal police officer and took the initiative to chat with several Chinese people in the hotel lobby for a while, and then figured out the reason why there were so many Chinese here.
After understanding the situation, he said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, I understand why there are so many Chinese here. The phosphate mines rich in Morocco are actually the key raw materials for the production of lithium iron phosphate batteries. Many power batteries in China Enterprises and new energy vehicle companies are investing in and building factories here to produce lithium iron phosphate batteries locally. It is said that it is at least 30% cheaper than bringing raw materials back to China for production. "
Ye Chen couldn't help but smile and said: "Ask my second uncle later to see if the power battery company they acquired before has invested here before."
"Probably not." Li Yalin said: "Didn't I always follow your grandpa to investigate investments in China? The power battery company they invested in mainly produces ternary lithium batteries, not lithium iron phosphate. It seems to be iron phosphate. Lithium has low energy density and is cheap, and is mainly suitable for mid- to low-end models.�
Ye Chen nodded slightly and said: "But there are so many Chinese here, so it is easier for us to hide our identities. The locals are not surprised when they see us, and no one pays too much attention to us."
After saying that, Ye Chen added: "When it gets dark, let's find a way to enter the port and take a look."
Li Yalin asked him: "Port management is generally strict, is it easy for us to enter?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a solution."
After that, he said to Li Yalin: "Inspector Li, let's go to the room first. I booked the highest floor here. I should be able to see the general situation of the port."
The two checked in and took their room cards to their rooms on the 22nd floor of the hotel. Their rooms were located in the south and north, and the room in the north had a panoramic view of the entire port.
Arriving at the living room of the north room, the two of them overlooked the Casablanca port in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Li Yalin saw at a glance the railway freight yard with at least twenty tracks in the south of the port. He looked east along the railway line and said to Ye Chen: "As far as I know, Casablanca is the economic lifeline of the entire Morocco. Most of the phosphates mined in the country are shipped to all parts of the world from here. The Duke Mining Company of the Qing Dynasty also exports phosphates overseas from here. I think phosphates are everywhere. It�s delivered directly to the dock via rail.�
Ye Chen said: "Have you checked their phosphate export situation?"
"Checked." Li Yalin said: "AI checked the import and export data of Moroccan phosphate companies, and Duke Mining was not included in it. If Duke Mining does not export, then their production capacity should be owned by other companies. Help them with their export business.�
Speaking, Li Yalin added: "In order to find out the direction of their phosphates, AI checked all the companies operating import and export business at the Casablanca port and locked in one of the import and export companies. This company's main business is the export of phosphates. To companies around the world, but they do not have phosphate mines themselves, it is equivalent to acting as an agent for the export business of some phosphate companies. AI has analyzed the customs declaration data of this company. The annual export volume is higher than the output of Duke Mining. Some, in addition to Duke Mining, should also be agents for the export of some small businesses.�
"In addition, this company also does a small amount of import business. Most of what it imports is various mining machinery and equipment, and then sells them in Morocco. But it is said to be sales. In fact, they only provide equipment for Duke Mining. �
Ye Chen asked curiously: "This was also detected by AI?"
"Yes." Li Yalin said: "This import and export company successively imported a batch of Liebherr's heavy-duty mining equipment from Germany the year before last. AI confirmed this batch of Liebherr's heavy-duty mining equipment in the repaired Skyline database. The equipment is used in the open-pit mining area of ????Duke Mining. This brand of equipment is not found in several other large companies. For other companies, the cost of Liebherr's equipment may still be too high. "
After that, Li Yalin added: "AI also found a lot of food imported from the United States from their customs declaration information, mainly beef, wheat and vegetables. I suspect that they quietly shipped these foods after customs declaration. Duke Mining."
Ye Chen said: "Food can be purchased locally. It is unnecessary to import it from the United States. It is probably because the consumption of Duke Mining is obviously higher than the normal value, so I don't want people to find out the clues."
"Yes." Li Yalin said: "They are quite careful in this regard. There are several local food suppliers. In this way, the demand is dispersed, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find out their specific food consumption, and then secretly import some of them. The food was basically seamless, but they definitely didn�t expect that there would be an AI model with incredible computing power that would continuously analyze all their data and information through various dimensions.� JrNovels.com
