In business, Blake's company was very sensitive to minor setbacks and changes, how could this be if he was so rich, and his holdings stretched far beyond Denver/oil (as he told Amanda)? The mansion must have cost a small fortune of its own to maintain and keep, so Blake's personal fortune must easily have been between 500 and 1 billion dollars.
He seemed "poor" as to the picture the show depicted, when he every season got himself in situations forcing him to lay off staff and sell personal belongings.

So, how wealthy was he?

And for someone who built such an empire, Alexis was like a boy raping the country side when she battled with him in business. She outsmarted him every time, and why didn't Blake ever suspected Alexis going through others to loan him money and mess his company up and take over? For example, Blake could have inserted a clause, stating if Alexis was/became involved in any way, all former conditions would not apply anymore. He prided himself in knowing Alexis' deceitful and lying nature, yet he didn't factored her when that nature could live out all its nastiness through the might of Colbyco (especially in s.6/7 when she is on a rampage, even for her). I can't help to think of him as stupid and naive, the same unfitting qualities he laid upon Krystle.

Crappy business sense or not used to dealing with women with an edge?

More like the writers were just idiots who didn't know how to make a good plot, or create an actual smart-seeming character.
