Walking into the studio of former General Manager of Jiayu Suit, Jiang Yucheng, located in Bali, New Taipei City, from the mysterious gate, what caught his eye was the undried oil painting written by Jiang Yucheng in Tamsui the day before. It was hazy and tranquil and quiet, with the lines of Paul, a French Impressionist master. The interest of Cezanne.
Listen carefully, dozens of European antique clocks and watches were placed in the corner of the room, and the ticking sounds were rising and falling, and the ticking sounds would be issued at the same time. These were all achieved by Jiang Yucheng’s self-study, and he was able to be reborn and reborn.
It's OK. In addition to paintings and sculptures, Jiang Yucheng is still a "Clock Watch Doctor". Over the past 20 years, he has purchased more than 400 faulty antique watches, each worth between 10,000 and 200,000 yuan. After repairing it, he can instantly sell more than twice the price on the eBay auction website. Some watchmakers even asked him to cut off their love for 20 times, but his goal is to set up a watch museum, so he has not sold any one.
Then he turned into the room, Jiang Yucheng opened the cabinet and pulled out a box of heavy multi-bags. The most special one was the commemorative currency created by Paris, France in 1900 to hold the Olympic Games and the World Expo, full of the mellow feeling of history. There are more than 1,000 memorial coins like this. Take out the spare parts of the leisure time to watch, and it is more common to play with antiques, and it is even more unique.
Every day is a new day
Retirement for three years, ten times happier than going to work
"I have been retiring for three years, and now I am more busy and 10 times happier than when I go to work! I am looking forward to what I will do the next day before going to bed, and I will be excited to start the day when I wake up in the morning." Jiang Yucheng did not change his life routine because of retirement. Every week, he was specially divided into three periods: "sensual creation", "rational maintenance", and "kindness and socialization".
Monday to Thursday are his artistic creation day. In the morning, I was thinking about paintings in my house and thinking about how to make breakthroughs. I prepared paintings and painted materials at noon, and walked around the suburbs of Taipei to write in the afternoon. I could draw two pictures every day.
On Friday, the engineer will be on the watch repair day. Under more than 300 antique watch rings, he carefully examines the cause of each failure, and then goes online to find suitable parts. When the parts arrive, assemble them immediately to resume operation and test the accuracy of time.
The weekend is family day and social day. The wife, son, daughter-in-law and son gather together to eat and share the joy of heaven. If there is an invitation from a friend of the former career, he will go out to gather to maintain an active attitude and not to get involved in social activities. Sometimes he will exchange stock operation experiences with each other.
Do not hesitate to share the rules and regulations
10,000 hours, and establish retirement dreams
According to the Ministry of Interior, the average life of Taiwanese people in 2016 was 80 years old. After deducting the last five years of illness, 75 years old should be the golden high point in life. Going forward, from the legal retirement age of 65 to 75 years old, it is equivalent to the golden decade of life. According to the concept of "deliberate practice for 10,000 hours can become an expert", before the legal retirement age is 65, it takes 10,000 hours to cultivate, 2 to 3 hours a day, for a total of 10 to 15 years.
Work is a ten-year effort, and the same is true for preparing for retirement! Taking painting as an example, this is the dream that Jiang Yucheng had when he was young, but he was officially acquainted with a teacher at the age of 53. In order to urge himself to realize the ideal of a professional painter, he specially "spoken" in the class. He was not here to waste time, but to become an art master and never start an exhibition in the future!
Jiang Yucheng, who has become a "retirement expert", systematically sorted out the golden rules of "happy retirement practice", including five practice aspects: "interest", "health", "time planning", "financial management" and "family", and the implementation of the three keys: "starting from the top of your career", "interest priority", and "family explanation".
In 2005, when he served for 20 years, Jiang Yucheng was appointed as the president of Jiayu Suit. He also served as the president of Jiayu Suit, director of the Development Association, the director of the Wu Shunwen News Awards Foundation, deputy general manager of Taiwan Wenshu, and Yulong Ball Team Leader. His life is tight and busy.
However, this year was also the first year for Jiang Yucheng to "deliberately practice retirement." Because, at the age of 53, he had to start taking classes according to his schedule for his retirement plan in 10 years.
Practice-oriented" uses space-based learning to learn art, full of enthusiasm
He first chose three interests, namely painting, watch repair and Kunzi photography, based on his preferences, expertise, and practicality. The diverse interests allow himself to change tracks freely at any time, and he can multiply the excitement and richness of life by 3 times!
"I remember that I was determined to get to the day when the Taiwanese teacher registered, and I couldn't help but feel excited about falling from the school gate. I thought, it's easy to take the first step!" Jiang Yucheng recalled the scene that day, and still felt extremely emotional. Secondly, based on the preferences of science and technology workers for machinery, Jiang Yucheng originally had the habit of collecting watches. After revising it later, it was better to have a self-study and rehabilitation.
Practice facing two" actively goes out of the house, and hiking sports promotes the recognition of the creator
The third kind of interest is photography, and the theme is set to "Kunzi mating". When you collect a hundred Kunzi photos, you will publish a special book. With this goal set, Jiang Yucheng intends to create a cause for himself to go out of the house. In the 10 years since 2007, he has indeed climbed 10 mountains, including Guanyin Mountain and Datun Mountain in the suburbs of Taipei, and has also captured more than 300 times!
Mountain climbing photography can adjust the speed according to the body, improve lung capacity and muscle endurance, and promote the new Chen Daixi. Jiang Yucheng's past "three highs" alarm was actually lifted. After retirement, his physical condition is more healthy and energetic than when he was at work!
Practice facing three" Let others cooperate with you and use your leisure time in a flexible way
At the peak of career, what you lack most is often not money, but time. On the one hand, he had a discipline in his heart, and did not miss the painting classes for the two days a week. On the other hand, he gradually informally revealed to the company that he did not do business these two nights. Gradually, the boss and colleagues would receive messages and tacitly avoided this period of negotiations, so that Jiang Yucheng's time would be more comfortable.
Practice-oriented Four》 Maintains sufficient cash flow and combines investment and financial management
Jiang Yucheng, in addition to three houses, most of the investment is placed on the collection of art products, commemorative coins and watches. If calculated based on market value, the conservative estimate is more than 40,000 yuan, plus rent income, cash deposit interest and monthly insurance refunds, and at least 30,000 to 40,000 yuan passive income per month, you can still make two international long-term trips every year by using stock profits.
Take the three paintings of Nan Haiyan, who were purchased during a business trip to China in 2000, as an example. The total price of purchase is about NT$300,000. It was remembered by my wife at that time, but now the total price of the three paintings is about NT$21 million, with a value-added rate of NT$70 times. When Nanhaiyan came to Taiwan to open its exhibition last year, he also specifically reminded Jiang Yucheng: "Do you want to sell it? You can buy a house in Taipei now!"
Practice For Five" does everything for families and cultivate children's competitionIn fact, Jiang Yucheng's original retirement age was 55 years old, and it was extended to 63 years old before retirement. The key to the family is the responsibility of the family. When the retirement program was launched in 2006, his second son, Jiang Shang, graduated from the National Taiwan Electric Power System and worked as a local patent company, but Jiang Yucheng kept suggesting that he go to the United States to further his studies.
Jiang Shangzheng, who is 39 years old, said: "At that time, our relationship between father and son fell to the ice. For more than half a year, we hardly talked. One is of course my criticism of my father's collection hobbies, and the other is because my wedding date is approaching and I don't want to go abroad to recite books again, which has caused my family's financial burden."
Finally, in order to break the deadlock between father and son, he reluctantly went to New Hampshire University to study for a doctorate in law in 2007. He quickly graduated in four years, and was admitted to the California lawyer's license, and gave birth to a son before returning to Taiwan.
"Most people have dreams, hoping to do something after retirement, but that's not right." Jiang Yucheng said that his younger sister Jiang Huimei died of cancer in one or two years before and after retirement. Almost all dreams were done in a hurry under a bad state of physical condition, which is a pity.
"The length of life is controlled by God, but the width of life is determined by ourselves." Jiang Yucheng only truly felt the completeness of his life after retirement, and he was almost about to touch and perfect!
