Last spring, Mr. Sun, a toy wholesaler, called me at midnight, his voice trembling: 'Lao Wang, my shipment has been stuck at the port for two weeks! My client is threatening to sue me, I'm finished!' I rushed over and found the problem wasn't the goods, but his entire broken supply chain.

Today, I want to share three practical principles I learned from that failure.

The Three Years I Spent 'Building Blocks' in My Warehouse: Why SME Digitalization Is About Small Steps, Not Big Bangs
Three years ago, I helped my friend Lao Liu with a digital transformation. He spent 500,000 yuan on a 'comprehensive upgrade' from a big company. On launch day, his staff went on strike, and he almost went bankrupt. That night, he asked me with red eyes: 'Lao Wang, is digitalization just a trap for small business owners?'
