Russian term or phrase: "сделает всех"
Речь идет о компании, которая собирается вступить на новый для нее рынок и вложить туда огромную сумму денег и таким образом "сделает всех" (конкурентов, как я понимаю).
Помогите, пожалуйста перевести как-нибудь по-идиоматичнее, а то все что мне на ум приходит это "will destroy all competition"

will wipe out all competition/wipe the floor with the competition
Explanation:
I'm sure there must be dozens of ways of saying it... here's one idiomatic вариант (well, two!) to start the ball rolling!

"In spite of it's controversial subject matter, 'All in the Family' started slowly in the Wednesday 9:30 time slot. CBS moved it to the Saturday 8:00 time slot, where it proceeded to *wipe out the competition*..."

"What are you waiting for? *Wipe out all competition!* Advance in the Interview process, land a Pharmaceutical Sales Job and become a Pharmaceutical Sales PRO! After reading these eBooks, you'll be ready to land one of these highly lucrative and rewarding Pharmaceutical Sales Jobs."

will do it all


Explanation:
Another possiblity is that, by entering this new area of the market, this company will now be involved in yet another aspect of the general business area in which it is already involved. Thus, they may now perceive themselves as a full-service company in whatever area that is, or that they now "do it all".
