A Turning Point in the Times | The Construction Industry in the Post-COVID Era

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Panhead

It's a motorcycle lol

This is Harley.

The number of people who ride motorcycles tends to increase once they turn 40.

Even among my friends, the conversation is all about motorcycles from start to finish.

It's probably a phenomenon that occurs once you reach a certain age.

 

Everyone here loves motorcycles, but I'm already bored with them lol

The thing is, I rode one for a few years when I was younger, so I'm not really interested in it anymore—it just leaves me thinking, "Whatever."

However, I'm surprised to see that "yan cars"—which weren't even popular back in the day—are now being sold for astronomical prices.

You never know what will happen as times change.

 

The scariest thing about riding a motorcycle is getting into an accident, isn't it?

Generally speaking, if you get into an accident on a motorcycle, you'll either be seriously injured or killed.

I can't help but think, "Wouldn't it be better to take a car?" lol

I want everyone—especially motorcyclists in their 40s and older—to be extra careful.

Biker


But that's beside the point.

 

On a different note, due to the COVID-19 crisis, restaurants across the board have shifted to a "delivery war."

And at night, hostess clubs and snack bars are using Zoom to...Web Cabaret...and so on have officially begun.

The store will start the meeting using Zoom, which is free for up to 40 minutes.

Customers purchase points in advance, receive a payment ID and password from the store, and then enter the room.

Basically, you chat one-on-one with a girl over video.

You're probably thinking, "What's so fun about that?" right?

"Online drinking parties" with lots of friends—they're all the rage right now! Apparently, they're actually pretty fun!! (Though I've never tried one myself.)

It's exactly the same thing.

The girl might be wearing pajamas in the parts of the screen we can't see, lol.

Some people might be happy to get a glimpse into my personal life. (Not that I know, though.)

 

I feel as if I'm right in the middle of a moment when the times are changing and everything is in flux.

I'm excited to see how the nature of business is changing.

I can't imagine this catching on at all right now, but I do think there's something that will experience explosive growth in some form in the future.

Telework

Everyone is working remotely these days.

I realized that I could manage my work to a certain extent that way.

I think the nature of work will definitely change as well.

It’s become clear that we don’t even need the “company” structure itself anymore.

In a sense, this is where work-style reform is taking place.

What should we in the construction industry do?

Isn't there something we can do?

I think doing things by hand on-site is fine, but aren't there other areas where we could simplify things?

We are entering an era where we can work more efficiently and with less effort using the web.

I feel that now is the time for us—slope contractors and construction companies—to give this more thought.

The Future

It would be fun just to come up with even one idea like that! It would definitely be fun to be in a place where I could actually create something like that.

It's the same as creating the future.

It's fun to imagine what the future will be like, no matter how old you are, isn't it!

Don't just say, "I'm an old man now, so I don't care about that!" Instead, please leave a vision of the future for the younger generation. (A fun future.)

Isn't that your responsibility as a senior? lol (You can't get off early, right?? lol)

And I think it wouldn't be a bad idea for us—the ones who will shape the future—to go along with it to some extent.

As someone walking toward the future we envision.

 

See you later.
