Capitalism 2 and Capitalism Lab Forum

Hello I am new to the game and I am trying to setup product R&D? I want to do one product so i add the product unit to all 9 boxes and make the middle one the team lead and start the research. But it doesnt speed up I am still getting the same research times as using one slot. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? If someone could post the exact steps to do this that would help me out a lot.

I figured it out, you can just hire one person in the middle. You have to hire all the boxes.

are you linking the boxes together ?
