As an establishment that sold raw gemstones, it was only natural that they would hire stone-cracking masters as well.
Once Shao Hongyi had officially completed his purchase, a burly man walked out from the back, dispersed the watching onlookers, and began discussing with Shao Hongyi on how he wanted the raw gemstone to be cracked.
Since no one could be certain that the raw gemstone would contain gems within it, if the stone-cracking master were to slash down the gemstone without hesitation and crush the gems during the process, huge losses would be incurred. However, with a raw gemstone this huge, no sane person would take their time to chip away the gemstone bit by bit. As such, discussing where the first strike should land was a matter of huge importance.
After a long and thorough discussion, the stone-cracking master set off to work.
