-------- From the French "JRI" magazine
On June 8, 2008, LAUNCH, the China Automotive aftermarket manufacturer in Shenzhen held its 13th annual forum, which showed the leadership's concern for all employees, motivated and inspired all employees to better integrate into LAUNCH, the international family. The event also brought to the European enlightenment.

Hundreds of guests, customers, employees gathered at the headquarters of Launch Tech. In the building, every day more than 2000 employees for the global market work hard for production of China's own brand of scan tools, wheel balancers, wheel aligners, and so on. And thousands of miles away in the Shanghai factory is the production base of lifts and tire changers.

At the opening ceremony, Louis Liu, the chairman of Launch Tech, briefly summed up the achievements made in 2007 and gave planning for 2008. Last year, due to the continuous improvement of X-431 products the entire company's sales increased 40%, and the sales of X-431 products are more than 30,000units. In International development, in the past year, Launch focused on North America and South America market, and continued to lead the industry in China.

Among the many guests, Louis Liu, the chairman of the speech is so humble. In front of customers, he said without hesitation: "We clearly recognize that our product is not a perfect product, but we have to seriously study and consult with an open mind, keep making progress, efforts to improve our facilities. We firmly believe that our determination will bring you the best return." This great adventured speech in the eyes of Europeans showed a frank determination of the top management. Louis Liu went on to say: "I invite you all visit our factory freely, it’s up to you to find the strict and positive attitude of Launch Tech."

The following is from the French media, friends and guests after attending the 13th Launch annual forum:
1. Complete freedom of movement
When we set foot on Chinese territory, we imagine that we may be in limited action due to the actions of the French on the eve of the Olympic Games. However, facts have proven that we are over-worrying, especially in Launch industrial park. We will not only be free of a separate action in the shuttle production line, but obviously they do not make any special preparation. Opposite to the poor situation of China we see on television, we see rows of workers neatly dressed in uniforms, the work of a rigorous and orderly. In the X431 assembly line workshop, we were deeply shaken by the atmosphere at the scene. The foreman did not clamor forcing workers to bend over backwards; not hell-paced production; no more poor children into work exhausted (Note: these are China's Situation Description from the European mainstream media "China expert"). A young person in charge of the production line tell us: "We work 5 days a week to 40 hours together in China, minimum wage standards in the light of the region's standard of living. In Shenzhen is around 100 Euros per month. In addition, workers can get more pay for more work. The problem of child labor? In 2008 a new labor law, there are clearly defined. Such a large-scale enterprises as Launch is strictly monitored, which does not allow children less than 16 years of age to work. "In fact, the labor right of workers in China is a big step forward to protect workers in a work environment. Law, what work still must have a clear written contract, to regulate working hours, pay and clear terms of the dismissal. In the past, we mistakenly believe that China has at least 40% of the workers did not sign labor contract. In addition, since 2008, the company must pay for each employee social security and unemployment insurance. At the same time, for the same company for more than 10 years and more than 2 signed contracts of limited duration staff will automatically be converted to in an indefinite contract.

Manual production
On X431 production line, we do not see the costly machines, and no extreme automation of production. Like a number of Chinese enterprises, work creates wealth. The machines controlled by 2 machine operators in Europe were in place of more than 30 persons. They used pliers to install an electronic original to the printed circuit board. LAUNCH indicates that the profit margin is still acceptable. All of this production line of machines will be on-site test to ensure quality and reliability.
Under the House floor, we came to the Balancer production workshop. Similarly, here is not the rhythm of the factory faster than in Europe. The workers are not as tight as we imagine. The high-quality steel machines mark their reliability. The general wheel balancer is around 45Kg and LAUNCH balancer easily reaches 85Kg.

Launch Shanghai Lift Factory
We arrived at the Shanghai lift factory after the flight of 2000km. Different from Shenzhen, we came to the kingdom of a welding machine industry from the world of electronic equipment. Here, 250 employees work at the 15,000 square meters factory. Each year, more than 20,000 units of lifts are produced. Similarly, here are all hand-made processes. However, it is in quite a large scale and also uses modern technology. For example, using epoxy paint line of particle technology, making spray more durable, this technique is rarely seen in Europe. A plasma cutter is cutting the floor plate of column. Everything is in perfect order. When we have seen the finished product district, we can not express the shock with words ...

Our harvest
Before leaving LAUNCH, the end of the trip to China, we finally understand that China is step by step toward a bright future, this trend is irresistible. Although European countries (not just Europe) still have doubts on taking a look at China and beginning trading with China, the vitality of the Chinese people and desire to victory create strength. Now, we have to understand we could not compete with China not only in low value-added products but also be threatened in the high-tech products and even luxury goods market. It is clear that when the European can recovery!
