People come and go in the park, the hall has increased the number of food delivery cabinets, there are more bottom merchants, and young people can often be seen taking pictures in the square...... In May last year, TFI Higher Education Science and Technology Innovation Park opened in Nankai District, and the riders who delivered food in this neighborhood felt the changes in the park during the daily food delivery.
Memories of the former construction site
In the afternoon, Shang Haitao, a 24-year-old rider, rode an electric car on the road, and the sun was shining on him.
Turning from Baidi Road into a new campus, several high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and the glass windows of the eaves of the buildings glisten in the sunlight. A sculpture of a Möbius ring enclosing a "mother and child" attracts passers-by to stop. Several high-rise buildings stand in order, in the park, the street is clean and tidy, and against the background of the blue sky and white clouds, the LOGO of Tiankai Park is particularly eye-catching and dazzling.
"It used to be a construction site blocked by a blue fence, but now it's so beautiful." Shang Haitao searched for the former appearance of Tiankai Garden in his memory.
In 2018, Shang Haitao came to Tianjin from his hometown in Anhui Province to engage in the hairdressing industry with his friends.
In February this year, Shang Haitao left the hairdressing industry to become a delivery driver. Tiankai Park is located within the scope of Shang Haitao's running orders, and in the process of gradually increasing contact with the park, Shang Haitao also paid attention to the changes in Tiankai Park.
The most obvious change is that more and more merchants are opened, and supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, coffee roasting, digital fast printing, pharmacies and other related supporting facilities are becoming more and more complete.
Shang Haitao likes to go to the self-service supermarket to take a look. "Welcome!" Walking into the unattended smart supermarket in TFI Park, the greeting you hear is not from the clerk, but from the automatic broadcast. Shopping, weighing, scanning the code to checkout...... In this 110-square-meter 24-hour convenience store, this series of operations is all completed by the customer.
Sometimes, Shang Haitao will go to the agricultural life science and technology square to buy something, in addition to the regular wine and drinks, food, daily chemicals and other goods, the square also has freshly squeezed juice and fresh-cut fruits, "I feel very convenient, I can buy anything I want at any time, there is also a rest area, you can come and sit for a while when the order is less." ”
The number of deliveries ranges from more than 20 to three digits
At 10 a.m., 28-year-old Goofy started work. Wearing a blue overalls and a helmet, the black flower mask blocks the summer ultraviolet rays, and the high-flying look is a little cool.
Ride an electric car easily and shuttle through the streets and alleys. Picking up food, delivering food, and riding bikes, the rider repeats his work day after day.
Gao Fei is a native of Cangzhou, Hebei Province, who used to work as a small worker and a rider in his hometown for a period of time, and came to Tianjin to work as a rider through online recruitment after the Spring Festival in 2023.
In May last year, Tiankai Park opened. "What is Tiankai Garden?" The first time he received an order from there, Goofy was filled with curiosity. "Tiankaiyuan is very beautiful", this is his first feeling, but Gao Fei's initial impression of Tiankaiyuan is still a little unfamiliar. Of the 8 buildings in TFI, all but 2 are residential buildings, the rest are office buildings. At that time, there were not many companies settled in, and during the day, white-collar workers worked in the building, and there were hardly any people on the street.
Goofy is very satisfied with his current life, although he is a bit monotonous, he is good at observation, and some new changes can always bring some freshness to the daily work.
At first, takeaway could only be delivered to a small table on the first floor of the office building, and the first delivery was during the afternoon rush hour, Gao Fei remembers that there were only four or five takeaways on the small table, and he personally sent only more than 20 orders to Tiankai Park in the first month.
The change of the Tiankai Garden is very fast, and this is the obvious feeling of Goofy. There are more merchants at the bottom, there are more people on the street, and the small tables on the first floor are not enough, so the food delivery cabinet has been added. Scan the QR code on the express box with WeChat, and then enter the last four digits of the customer's mobile phone number, the express box will be opened, and the customer will pick up the meal in the same way. The courier box not only saves time on food delivery, but also serves as a little heat preservation. A more intuitive change is the number of orders sent by Gao Fei, which has increased from more than 20 at the beginning to three digits.
The park is becoming more and more popular, and there are also more and more elements full of science and technology: the automatic ice cream machine of the online celebrity store "Supply and Marketing Forward Milk Bread Company" can make a variety of flavors of ice cream, and the meal can be served in less than 30 seconds; FitnessFort Fitness has introduced advanced oxygen jet system and technological VR physiotherapy technology to bring consumers a better fitness experience.
In June last year, the Starry Sky Restaurant opened, with astronaut models, starry sky-style ceilings, and space capsule doors...... Every time he passed by, Goofy could see customers taking pictures and checking in. Cupping, extraction, milking, latte art...... Only 90 seconds after the order is placed on the applet, the intelligent coffee robot will hand a cup of fragrant "latte" to his hand, Gao Fei rarely drinks coffee, and what attracts him is to feel the happiness brought by "technology + life".
I often see the lights in the window
For Zhou Chunheng, a 31-year-old delivery man, Tiankaiyuan is a place where he can calm down.
The central square of TFI Garden is Zhou Chunheng's favorite place, with rest areas and various sculptures in the square, creating a space with bright and trendy colors.
In February last year, Zhou Chunheng came to Tianjin from his hometown in Anhui Province, and after doing renovation work for a period of time, he became a rider in May, when Tiankai Park opened its arms. An inadvertent coincidence, reminiscent of a story of growing up together.
Zhou Chunheng runs the day shift, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and sometimes sits in Tiankai Park after work, missing his wife and children in his hometown and releasing the pressure of the day.
The square is home to two rows of bottom merchants, and when the park opened in May last year, almost none of them were open. Nowadays, there are many shops, adding more vitality and convenience to the square.
Zhou Chunheng remembered that last year's heavy rainstorm, the water surface did not reach the knees, the car driving over would cause water fluctuations, and the speed of splashing water, Zhou Chunheng rode an electric car, the water splashed down from the head, soaked all over, and the electric car almost overturned, but still delivered the takeaway to the customers of Tiankai Park within the scheduled time.
When he was working, Zhou Chunheng had only one thought, to work hard to make more money, and with the gradual growth of the number of enterprises and employees settled in Tiankai Park, the business volume of takeaway orders is also rising, and the plan to make more money is gradually being realized.
The sky is getting dark, Zhou Chunheng finished the day's work, busy during the day, no time to rest, sitting in the square of Tiankai Park, watching the people who get off work walk out of the office buildings, next to the Internet celebrity coffee shop, restaurant, drink shop in and out of the young faces are full of vibrant atmosphere; Looking up at the office buildings in the park, there are many windows that are often brightly lit......
