lui en faire voir de toutes les couleurs Explanation: I am not quite sure this is about "money". I am a little unclear on whether the sentence is mentioning two different companies or not, If so, it would have been clearer to replace "xxx" with Company A and Company B for example. Anyway, if this is about two companies competing as I suspect, I would suggest "lui en faire voir de toutes les couleurs" (put its competitor through the wringer, basically) |

give it a run for its money. ils vont voir à qui ils ont affaire Explanation: Almost the exact expression lifted directly from R+C dictionary: I'll give them a (good) run for their money! : ils vont voir à qui ils ont affaire! Note you will need to change the personal pronoun depending on whether you treat 'it' as 'the competing company / product' or as a plural 'they' (the company, collectively). |
