Here, he shares with us an exclusive excerpt from Chapter 1:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Some\u00a0of you are wondering why I called this memoir \u201cBeautiful Things\u201d instead of, say, \u201cUkrainian Business for Dummies,\u201d or \u201cNot the Good Son \u2014 the Other One.\u201d Some joker even told me I should have called it \u201cTen Easy Ways to Secure Your Laptop\u201d (No. 1: don\u2019t go on a binge and forget you left it in a repair shop for a year.)<\/p>\n<p>Ha, ha! Inside joke. You probably don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about, because Dad\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> team is also known as \u201cthe media.\u201d They fixed it so only one <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> organization in the country mentioned my laptop. Those jerks at The Post should have known you don\u2019t mess with the B Team. I mean, Team B. I didn\u2019t mean to suggest the Obamas were the A Team and that we\u2019re this pathetic pile of janky political leftovers, like when you go in the carpet store and there\u2019s this dusty corner marked \u201cRemnants.\u201d Sure, the last First Lady is super-glamorous and hangs out with Beyonc\u00e9 and went to Harvard Law School and all that but \u2014 did you know my stepmom is a doctor?

(I asked.)<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m calling this book \u201cBeautiful Things\u201d because I\u2019ve wised up. I\u2019m no longer a 30-year old scoundrel, coke fiend and influence peddler. Now that I\u2019m a 51-year-old scoundrel and influence peddler, I\u2019ve learned to appreciate some of the finer things. Yes, smoking crack and knocking up s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>pers have their place in my heart, but these days beauty is something that\u2019s become more important. Have you ever seen a 2.8-carat diamond that\u2019s worth $80,000? Really sparkly. It\u2019s a Beautiful Thing.<\/p>\n<p>So is my friendship with the man who gave it to me, a Chinese tycoon named Ye Jianming. Only haters don\u2019t get that friendship is a Beautiful Thing!<\/p>\n<p>Ye ran an energy company. I don\u2019t know that much about energy, but I know a lot about\u00a0<em>juice<\/em>, if you know what I mean. My dad was about to launch his presidential campaign. This made me very popular with Chinese businessmen. \u201cYo, Ye!\u201d I used to say. It was a bro thing we had, joking around and stuff. He\u2019d say, \u201cYo, for-sale son!\u201d His English wasn\u2019t that great.<\/p>\n<p>Say, whatever happened to my old buddy Ye? Google says Ye, \u201cwho had ties to the Chinese military and intelligence services, was the chairman of CEFC until he disappeared after being taken into custody by Chinese authorities in early 2018.\u201d Well now. I definitely would never take a diamond the size of a baseball from a corrupt Chinese spy. In fact, now that I think about it, I didn\u2019t know that guy AT ALL. <em>[Stacey please redact before publication, thanks\u00a0\u2014 H.]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Some people ask me: Hunter, having been dishonorably discharged from the military and not having any relevant experience, how did you land a high paying job on the board of a foreign company? Turns out I didn\u2019t have to mention to those guys that Dad was vice president. They knew already! As the song goes, \u201cI got a name, and I carry it with me like my daddy did.\u201d <em>[Stacey, insert disclaimer from Legal about how Dad definitely never knew about any of this stuff\u00a0\u2014 H.]<\/em> Getting hundreds of thousands of dollars from Ukrainian energy companies while Dad was veep and point man for Ukrainian policy: Now that\u2019s what I call a Beautiful Thing.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"714\" alt=\"Hunter Biden watching on as his father President Joe Biden gets sworn in on January 20, 2021.\" class=\"wp-image-17238410 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/AFP_8Z89VW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/AFP_8Z89VW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/AFP_8Z89VW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/AFP_8Z89VW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/AFP_8Z89VW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Hunter Biden watching on as his father President Joe Biden gets sworn in on January 20, 2021.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Photo by ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS\/AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
