You basically are the one pushing for a thing with your influence which has no proven references from the past, albeit it does make sense on paper. In addition, your county/country is the most important market for the company bribing you - which is why you get offered a rather profitable bribe, since your community will be kind of a "guinea pig" for the companies product to be used.
If it works out, you have created a precedence for the company to expand on the market, helped your citizen and - secretly - got some money no one hopefully will ever know about.
If it doesnt you have taken money, delayed market expansion of the company and your citizens have no advantage - instead the community would have spend money unecessarily. Also you would have hurt your own credibility

The product the company wants to introduce would come with a 7 digit price for your community to initially install it.
