Door-to-door dragon son-in-law

The next day, Ye Chen and Li Yalin flew directly from Northern Europe to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, using the new identities prepared for them by Helena.

The two's destination this time is Casablanca, the largest city and port in Morocco.

More people know this city because of a classic movie with the same name. This city is also one of the few modern cities in Africa and is at least ranked in the top 10 in Africa.

On the plane to Lisbon, Ye Chen sat in a semi-private compartment in the first class cabin, covering himself with a blanket, and constantly performing the hand seals he learned under the aurora to continue to increase the spiritual energy in his body.

After arriving in Lisbon, Ye Chen felt that the spiritual energy in his body had increased significantly again, so he secretly decided that after the spiritual energy in his body increased further, he would start to transfer the spiritual energy into the ring given to him by Lin Wan'er. Since that ring might be of greater use, he might as well fill it up with spiritual energy in one go and see what would happen.

If it were in the past, Ye Chen might not be willing to try to continuously feed this bottomless pit with spiritual energy.

But now he felt confident. That set of hand seals could continuously create more spiritual energy. In this way, he would have an endless source of spiritual energy, and naturally he would not feel sorry for this little spiritual energy.

After arriving in Lisbon, in order to avoid leaving any traces that could be traced in the future, Ye Chen and Li Yalin disguised themselves and used another set of fake identities. They boarded a small plane of an airline from Lisbon, flew over the Strait of Gibraltar, and arrived in Casablanca.

After arriving in Casablanca, the two men booked two rooms in the best hotel near the port of Casablanca in the identity of Portuguese-Chinese businessmen.

To their surprise, there were more Chinese people in Casablanca than they had imagined.

Especially in the hotel where they stayed, Chinese accounted for at least one-third of the guests, and they all looked successful people and elite.

Li Yalin fully utilized the investigative ability of a criminal policeman. He took the initiative to chat with several Chinese people in the hotel lobby and found out why there were so many Chinese people here.

After understanding the situation, he said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, I understand why there are so many Chinese here. The phosphate mines in Morocco are the key raw materials for the production of lithium iron phosphate batteries. Many Chinese power battery companies and new energy vehicle companies have invested in building factories here to produce lithium iron phosphate batteries on site. 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, "I'll ask my second uncle later to see if the power battery company they acquired before had invested here before."

"Probably not." Li Yalin said, "I have been following your grandfather and his team to investigate investments in China. The power battery company they invested in mainly produces ternary lithium batteries and does not do much lithium iron phosphate. It seems that lithium iron phosphate has a low energy density and is cheap, and is mainly suitable for mid- and low-end models."

Ye Chen nodded gently and said, "But there are so many Chinese people here, so it's easier for us to hide our identities. The locals will be used to seeing us, and no one will pay too much attention to us."

Then, Ye Chen said, "When it gets dark, let's find a way to get into the port and take a look."

Li Yalin asked him: "Port management is generally quite strict. Can we enter?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way."

After that, he said to Li Yalin: "Inspector Li, let's go to the room first. I have booked the highest floor here. I should be able to see the general situation of the port."

The two checked in and took the room card to their room on the 22nd floor of the hotel. Their rooms were located one south and one north, and the room on the north side had a panoramic view of the entire port.

Coming to the living room of the north room, the two of them overlooked the port of Casablanca in front of the French window. 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 phosphate mined in the country is shipped from here to all parts of the world. Duke Mining of the Broken Qing Society also exports phosphate overseas from here. I think the phosphate is transported directly to the dock by rail."

Ye Chen asked: "Have you checked their phosphate exports?"

"We checked it." Li Yalin said, "AI checked the import and export data of Moroccan phosphate companies, and Duke Mining was not included. If Duke Mining does not export itself, then their production capacity should be handled by other companies to help them handle export business."

Li Yalin continued, "In order to find out where their phosphates are going, AI checked all the companies that operate import and export businesses in the port of Casablanca and locked in one of the import and export companies. The main business of this company is to export phosphates to companies around the world. They don't have phosphate mines themselves, so they are acting as an agent for the export business of some phosphate companies. AI analyzed the customs declaration data of this company and found that its annual export volume is higher than that of Duke Mining. I think in addition to Duke Mining, it should also act as an agent for the export of some small companies."

"In addition, the company also does a small amount of import business, mostly importing various mining machinery and equipment, and then selling them in Morocco. However, although they say they are selling, they actually only provide equipment for Duke Mining."

Ye Chen asked curiously: "Did AI find this out?"

"Yes." Li Yalin said, "This import and export company imported a batch of Liebherr heavy mining equipment from Germany two years ago. AI confirmed in the restored Skyline database that this batch of Liebherr heavy equipment is all working in the open-pit mining area of ​​Duke Mining. This brand of equipment has not been found in several other large companies. For other companies, the cost of Liebherr equipment may still be too high."

After that, Li Yalin continued, "AI also found a lot of food imported from the United States from their customs declaration materials, mainly beef, wheat and vegetables. I suspect that after they declared customs, they secretly transported these foods to Duke Mining."

Ye Chen said: "Food can be purchased locally. It is unnecessary to import it from the United States. It is probably because Duke Mining's consumption is obviously higher than normal, so they don't want people to notice it."

"Yes." Li Yalin said, "They are quite careful in this regard. There are several local food suppliers. With such dispersed demand, it is difficult for ordinary people to find out their specific food consumption. Combined with some secretly imported food, it can basically be seamless. But they certainly didn't expect that there would be an AI model with incredible computing power that continuously analyzes all their data and information through various dimensions."

Ye Chen pointed in the direction of the railway and asked him: "Inspector Li, since Duke Mining's phosphate is transported in by this railway, if I want to transport the Qing Society's assassins out of Duke Mining, this railway should also be the only way. I think we can use this railway line as a breakthrough point and focus on it."

Li Yalin agreed and said: "AI has analyzed several production sectors of Duke Mining. The mining area is responsible for mining the raw ore, which is then transported to Duke Mining's refinery near the mining area by trucks and conveyor belts. The refined phosphate is loaded at the railway freight yard in the refinery and then transported directly to the port. As long as Duke Mining needs to transport phosphate, it must have empty trains to load it. If we can get the driving videos of these freight trains, we should be able to figure out the basic process of trains entering Duke Mining. Through the videos, we should be able to see if there are any loopholes in this process."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "From here, the railroad does not lead directly to the dock. After these goods are transported to the port by rail, they need to be loaded and unloaded first, and then go through a series of customs export procedures before they can enter the cargo loading and unloading area of ​​the dock. Let's sneak in tonight and study it carefully. If we can get the people from the railway loading and unloading area to the dock loading and unloading area quietly, if this step can be achieved, then we will have a chance to take all the people away."
